OUT ON A LJMB
WITH B11.1.. SMILEY
•
Twehte years ago tonight, I was
a brand new bridegroom. Yep, it's
Our, twelfth anniversary: Seems
like Only yesterday. As Methuse-
lah said when they asked him how
it felt the apt time he had his
beard trimmed. '
* *
It's a long time to live with a
strange woman. Especially when
she gets stranger every year. Well,
not stranger, exactly, but more
peculiar. Well, not exactly more
peculiar, but, you know, uh, more
sort of odd. Not really odd, of
course, in the real sense of the
word, but, uh, more kind of, uh,
unexpected.
*
That's what gets me about it.
Twelve years ago, I Married this
dark -eyed, serene, little' girl„ just
out of her teens. She thought I
was some shakes„- I was a big
• operator, ex -flight -lieutenant just
out of the air force, been around,
seen the world. She thought every-
thing I said was gospel. She hung,
literally hung, on my every word.
My opinions were Mosaic in their
• majesty.
• *
"Boy," 1 thought, "this is for me.
This kid is just what I'm looking
for. • So many of my friends have
married those opinionated, over-
bearing • women who are always -
telling them what to do. •None of
that for me. This ,kid knows quality
when she sees it. She knows you
don't ,get guys like me out of grab -
bags. And" --Arid' she's 'so -quiet.: -Arid
undemanding: She's happy, just
to be with me." '
* -
Well, she's still got the dark eyes.
But did you ever pay much atten-
tion to the color of eyes your
sergeant -major was sporting, when
you were in the army?
* * *
Know what she 'said- the first
thing this • morning, before break-
fast? On our anniversary? She
said: "If you think I'm going to
take the ,garbage- 'out again this
week, you re crazy!" Imagine that.
On our anniversary. And 1 hadn't
even asked her yet. .
Of course, she didn't know it was
our anniversary. Nor did 1, until
noon, when I brought home a card
from her sister in the city, which
carolled: "Happy Anniversary."
She didn't burst into tears, as 'any
normal wife would do, .She. just
looked at me, in the diapassionate

this, the silver anniversary/ What
did you bring for a present, Dad?"
And the horrible realization dawn-
ed on me, that. it was Wednesday
afternoon, the stores were Closed,-
' and couldn't even got a belated
token tO throw to her,, el the Rus..
sians used to thr,ow their cloaks,
or
or was it their children, to the
pursuing wolVes.

"Oh,• I don't expect a present,"
she said to the kids, in that tone
that makes your toenails curl.
"Your father is much too busy with
important things, like forgetting to
order the coal, and forgetting to
get the storm windows on, and
forgetting to pay the hydro bill, to
remember a silly old anniversary."

Five hours later, when 1 got
home from work, to which I had
fled with the alacrity of a rabbit
released filrm a snare, and from
which I had returned with the
speed of a turtle with a sprained
ankle, she resumed, the iron strik-
ing deeper.
*
"Isn't this much nicer on our
anniversary," she said to the kids,
weeping ,over -the onions she , was
chopping into the frying liver,
"than your father taking ,me out
to dinner, with candlelight and
soft music? Just the four of us
together. In our own home. With

ful twelve years, and I wouldn't
trade one minute of it. If I hadn't
got married twelve years ago, I'd
still be a frivolous young, man'
with ' a lot of money. Instead of a
serious, middle-aged .type, dedicat-
ed `to the joyous tasks of paying

DESCRIBES' HER
TRIP OVERSEAS
Mrs, Agnes V. Foster, RR. 3,
Galeriar is back home after
trip of "10,000 miles in which she
used eleven 'different modes of
travel—car; bus, plane, tram, street
car, boat, train, taxi, elevator,4
escalator and rick-shaw. •
Flying from Malton Airport on
July '24th' at a height of 7;000 feet
only; Montreal,sprawled out\ far
below, was seen on theway to
Gander • Airport. At- other times
only white billowy clouds below
formed the scenery, said Mrs. Fos-
ter in a diary she kept of her trip
aadrrivaLaL2testwick,-SeaL
land, was in a heavy Mg.' Visits
followed in Glasgow and London,
where many historical spots were
visited. Prom London she flew 'to
Paris and found the coffee served
aboard the plane was terrible but
the tea very good. In, Paris she
found it amusing to watch people
going along the street carrying
French rolls under their arms. The
rolls were about . One , yard long
and unwrapped. From Paris she
went to Brussels,'" Belgium, and
experienced no trouble with cus-
toms officials. At the World's Fair
it:. was , strange not to • find, any
plate to ,buy soft drinks or ham-
burgers: Returned to England by
boat and .among places visited was
home of William Shakespeare, in-
cluding room where he was 'born.
Back to Scotland, she went to Ayr
to. visit birthplace of Bobbie' Burns.
At Kirkaldy; Scotland, she tried
to look up ancestral relatives since
it was there that Captain Andrew
Bogie, her grandfathar, was born,
later becoming' a salt water sailor.
At Edinburgh) she visited Edin-
burgh Castle.' On the way home,
the plane stopped over at Iceland,
"It was a wonderful sight coming
along the St. Lawrence River as the
sun was coming .up 'and seeing the
cities far below with their colored
lights still on," said Mrs. Foster
at the conclusion of the diary re -
Oft on the trip abroad which was.
in much more detail than that
given above.

A Seaforth youth .who appeared
jfl t,nagistrate's court at Goderich
Thursday pleaded guilty to Wee
Highway, Traffic Act violations and
was remanded to jail for one week
to await sentence.
Joe Pero, 18, 'admitted he drove
•carelessly, was under suspension
at the time and had an ownership
permit while prohibited from hav-
ing a motor vehicle.
"This young man was convicted
just last •menth at Seaforth of
driving while under suspension,",
said Crown.. Attorney H. Glenn
Hays.
A car driven by the youth was
in an. accident in Tuckersmith
Township, near Clinton, on August
16.• Mero had been drinking all
day at various "outlets" inthe
county, said the crown attorney.
According to the youth's story,
he took to the ditch to avoid an
oncoming vehicle. In doing so,
he removed a long series of. guard
rails "which didn't help his car
any," added Mr. Hays.
• Familiar Face
When Harry Gibb, a Clinton
youth, appeared in answer to a
charge of driving while disquali-
Red'Magistrate D. E. Holmes re-
marked, "He didn't stay' out of
trouble very long."
In court here two weeks ago,
Gibb was fined $50 and costs for
impaired driving and ,his, license
was suspended for six months. At
that time, he was given " until
September 18 to pay his fine.
On the first occasion, Gibb had
been driving a truck owned by a
Stratford firm. In the second case,
he was driving a car belonging
to his cousin. This ear struck the
rear of another auto at a Clinton
intersection. •
On the latest charge pf driving
while disqualified, he was released
on his own. bail of $100 and in-
structed • to . return to court on
September 25 to be sentenced.
,Iteith Miller, of R.R. 2, Bakfield,
was fined the minimum amount of
$10 and costs for careless driving.
His ear was in collision with the
left rear corner of a 1957 Lincoln,
driven by. Mrs. Gladys Meier, of
Stratford, on the Square, 'hear
Montreal street, on August 21.•
Mrs,,Meier said she was looking
for a parking place and had just
steed to let another car back
out when her car was nicked by
• the' 'Miller atitb,"Which. had been
following.
Defence counsel James Donnelly
contended that the degree of negli-
gence was not sufficient to warrant
a conviction of careless driving,
but the magistrate felt the man
had been following the Meier car
too closely under the circum-
stance'
.
Provincial 'COO4table Morley
Groves, on temporary duty with
the town police force, investigated
• the mishap.• •
Speeding Charge'
'Morley Jelin Fischer, of Brussels,
was fined $15•' andcosts for speed-
ing at 65 mph. The complaint was
laid by Provincial Constable Don
Westover, of Goderich, who clock-
ed Fischer's -vehicle near Taylpr's
Corner on August 21.
A one-week %adjournment was
granted in the case of a Goderich
man who faces four charges laid
under the Canada Temperance Act.
Three charges are of keeping for
sale and the other is of bringing
liquor into the county unlawfully.
